Florida offensive tackle Rod Johnson's UF career is over, the school announced Tuesday.
Johnson was diagnosed with congenital cervical stenosis, or narrowing of the spine, according to the school.
Johnson, a redshirt sophomore, was injured in a scrimmage on Florida Field on April 3 and ruled out for the remainder of the spring by UF coach Jim McElwain, who initially described Johnson's injury as a “stinger” of some sort.
McElwain said after Saturday's spring game that the prognosis did not appear good for Johnson, and the expected bad news was revealed Tuesday.
With Johnson out, the Gators were down to six scholarship offensive linemen for the spring.
